I do not believe there is any realistic limit to file size on EMC.
If the file can exist on the Linux file system, then EMC should be
able to handle it. I don't ever want to have to deal with a file of
this size, however. 64 K or so would be a severe limitation, and
I've run into that with some hokey pseudo-DNC software I made
for my Allen-Bradley control. But, I really don't want to be stuck
having to baby sit a machine making mold cavities for a week.
